Medical review by N33 can take a few days or a few weeks, it depends how complex (or not) your case is and what type of backlog they have. The class date depends on many factors, basically you are at the point where you just can't get enough data to know what you are asking.
I haven’t been selected yet, but my two cents is that you should retest for 7s across the board to meet I-SEL requirements. That just gives you an extra bit of ease of mind that you are competitive based on previous results and the PA. Plus, a 7 AQR I imagine would boost your OAR score into the 50s as I believe they are scored from the same subtests.
I mean your 8 PFAR is pretty competitive, and PFAR is king for sna. We did have oars in the 40’s get picked up last board but last board was a big anomaly. If you are confident and think you can do better on a retest and for sure get at least another 8 PFAR while bumping up the aqr to at least a 6 or 7 then I say go for it and retake it but if not then I would say just submit with what you got and see how it plays out. Worst case you don’t get selected and just retest.
Your PFAR is really all they care about, just go for it.
You're the GoatBeen lurking around AirWarriors prior to taking the ASTB-E, but I just took my exam and wanted to post about my scores, experience, and some questions that I was given on the test (that I can remember)! A huge thank you to all the folks that posted on this thread sample questions, tips, and encouragement; it was very helpful for me!
Score: OAR 67, 9/9/8 LCAC Psychomotor Standard Score 51 (anyone know what this last score means?)
Used all the material on the Kyle and Gomez Google drives; would highly recommend! Barron's Military Flight aptitude book, Peterson book, SAT math and physics sample questions, AFOQT and ASTB flashcards (since the AFOQT has a lot of similar material). Gleim's Private Pilot book, and loads of Khan academy math exercises.
Used the YouTube channels: Organic Chemistry Tutor, Kieno Thomas, ASVAB Tutoring, Grammar Hero, and Colfax Math.
Also used the awesome Simulator from Jantzenx along with the HOTAS x52 stick and throttle set (bought used) on my Linux Mint OS using AntiMicroX without any issues. This simulation set up was almost identical to the actual test so I felt very comfortable during this section. I got the settings for mapping the keys to the controller from an AirWarriors thread.
For the Terrain Identification, I used a compass rose and tried to find a straight line pointing north on the reference map, then rotated it to match 'North' on the right hand map and whatever direction was facing upwards, would be the answer.
Here's a short video I made on this. There's likely a better way but I am able to get all the answers right with this method!

Hope this can be helpful to some folks out there! Good luck to everyone!
You mean July
Next board is due Jun 10, convenes in July. If you haven't taken the ASTB yet you need to ASAP as I am assuming you haven’t gone through medical. The whole MEPS process can take months to clear, so the sooner the better. I have missed 2 boards because my first recruiter was slow on that front.
Thank you I didnt know this
Maybe, June, July, and August historically have quite a few NUPOCs and CEC due to them graduating and the USN likes to get those they have been paying to OCS fast. There are always spots for other designators just don't count on it being a quick turnaround during that time.
